Patent EE-200300178-A (EE)
Inventor: DICKNER ALLAN
IPC: B65G21/00
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A loading member with a substantially L-shaped cross section and which jointly with a corresponding loading member may be arranged at the bottom of a box, each member being provided at one of two respective parallel lower edges of the box. The loading members are retained in close abutment with the box by means of circumferential straps or packaging film, whereby the members form feet for the box. A first web of the L-section is provided with at least two pressed hollow projections on the surface intended to face a supporting surface of the loading member. Two of these projections have an interspacing of at least half the length of the member. The width of the projections is less than or equal to half the width of the first web. The projections substantially abut an edge at which the webs of the L-section converge. As a result, a comparatively light loading member is obtained and it is further ensured that the forks of a fork-lift truck can be inserted beneath a loading member when two identical loading members are mounted on two parallel lower edges of the box without causing significant damage to or wear of the loading member.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of Blue Mordant Dyeing Colouring Matters from Dinitro-anthraquinones.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1897-07-12
Granted: 1898-06-11
Abstract: 16,495. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik]. July 12. Dyes, artificial.-Blue mordant-dyeing colouring- matters are produced by heating 1 : 4<1>-dinitroanthraquinone, or other dinitroanthraquinones, with fuming sulphuric acid containing 30-45 per cent. of free anhydride in the presence of both boracic acid and sulphur at temperatures varying from 120‹ to 150‹ C. for about 2¢ hours. The product varies according to the strength of the acid used and the temperature. When these are low a product which is but slightly soluble in water is precipitated upon diluting the melt with water. It is readily soluble in hot water and dyes a very greenish shade of blue. The product resulting from a higher temperature and greater strength of acid is apparently a sulphonic acid soluble in water, from which it is precipitated by salt. It dyes a more reddish shade of blue. Both products differ from those obtained when boracic acid or sulphur alone is present in the reacting mixture.

Title: Improvements in Machines relating to the Manufacture of Sugar Confections and the like Coated with Chocolate or other Coating Material.
Inventor: BAKER GEORGE SAMUEL
Filed: 1897-10-21
Granted: 1899-01-21
Abstract: 24,358. Baker, G. S., and Baker, W. K. Oct. 21. Confectionery or sweetmeats.-Relates to machines for coating sugar &c. articles with chocolate. The chocolate receptacle A is fitted with guideplates B in which slide the bearings B<2> for the gripping-devices described below. A row of centres is fed from a vibrating hopper D<1> through double doors D<6>, D<7> on to a feed-table on which they are spaced by means of grooves. Next they are moved on to the dripping-grid E' by pushers D<9> operated by cam mechanism. The centres are then held by gripping-devices F<2>, Fig. 5, consisting of three members or fingers, the front one F<7> being fixed, and the others F<8>, F<9>being pivoted and fitted with tail-pieces F<10> which pass between two rods F<3>, F<4>. Movements of these rods open or close the fingers. The fingers are carried on rods C which revolve under the action of a rack and pinion controlled by the cam G<9> and G<10>. The centres are thus moved backwards a n d forwards in the chocolate until the position shown in Fig. 6 is obtained, when the superfluous chocolate is removed. The grid and fingers are then raised out of the chocolate receptacle and further revolution of the arms C brings them over a table. The fingers now open and release the goods, and then close together, the residual chocolate flowing down and dropping on to the centres. An ornamental design is produced by moving the fingers, the rod F by which they are carried on the arms C sliding transversely and being controlled by cranks J<10> driven by special gearing. The frame and fingers are finally lowered into position to grip another row of centres. The Provisional Specification states that instead of gripping-fingers cup-like holders may be employed. Or the rows of centres may be arranged on removable trays fitted with gripping-fingers.

Patent GB-189726812-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Organs.
Inventor: WILLIS VINCENT
Filed: 1897-11-16
Granted: 1898-10-22
Abstract: 26,812. Willis, V. Nov. 16. Organs.-The invention relates to improvements in the following parts : (1) Draw-stops. A rod a within the shank B of the draw-stop actuates a bell-crank lever a<1> which is pivoted on the shank and operates a plunger a<2>. A slight pressure on a button on the end of the rod a thus tilts a lever c<6> in one direction or the other according to whether the plunger happens to be over the rod c<6> or c<7>, i.e. whether the stop is in or out. In the case shown, the stop is closed, and the operation in question opens a valve c which is connected to an escape valve c', and admits wind from the chest C to a passage c<5> connected with the pneumatic lever for opening the stop, and also to a piston b which displaces the shank B, and places the plunger a<2> over the rod c<7> in position for moving the lever c<8> in the opposite direction when the button is again touched. A spring c<9> is interposed between the lever c<8> and the rod of the valve c. c<10> is a chamber for use in combinations. The shank B has an oblique hole b<3> arranged so as to act as a vent and placed so as also to cause cushioning at both ends of the stroke. The return stroke is effected by a spring. In a modification, the connection between the lever c<8> and the rod of the valve c is pneumatic. This arrangement enables a combination to be set before bringing it into use, as the necessary mechanical parts can be put in position before wind is admitted to the chest which supplies the pneumatic device. (2) Arrangements of claviers. The manuals are not arranged parallel as heretofore, but their planes approximately intersect in a line behind the player so that the upper ones are more in reach. This arrangement also enables their front parts to be placed closer together, while allowing room between their under parts for the connections between them and the mechanism they operate. A parallel movement for the pedals, applicable also to swell pedals, is described. (3) Uniformity of pressure in case of a sudden demand on the wind supply is usually obtained by a concussion bellows' and a wind reservoir, the latter opening a valve as it falls and supplying more wind. The improvement consists in governing the valve by the concussion bellows as well as by the reservoir, so that it is opened more promptly. (4) Figs. 6 and 8 show the construction of the sliders. These are preferably formed of two wooden slips 0 pressed apart by spiral springs, or, if single slips are used, they are forced against the bearers by plate springs. The wind channels n, n<1>, leading to the groove m and to the pipes respectively, are thrown into communication by recesses in the slips. This arrangement, being more airtight than the pallet which admits wind to the groove, necessitates the introduction of a relief valve.

Title: Improvements in Machinery for Sifting, Sorting, or Separating Matters of Different Kinds or Different Degrees of Fineness.
Inventor: STREITZ WILHELM
Filed: 1898-11-10
Granted: 1899-09-16
Abstract: 23,671. Streitz, W. Nov. 10. Sifting grain, flour, &c.-Relates to sifting - machinery in which sieves of successively - increasing fineness are arranged in tiers or series. Instead of connecting the sieves rigidly, they are made movable in relation to each other, each sieve being suspended from the sieve above, or all the sieves being secured to rods, ropes, or flat springs suspended at points situated above the uppermost of the series. Fig. 1 shows in section a swinging grading-machine for grain, flour, &c., the shaft a being oscillated by means of a lever arm a<0>. The sieves are divided by diametral partitions, the two halves of the machine operating independently on two classes of material. The materials are fed through shoots d', and centrifugal force carries them over the edge of the distributing-disc c. They pass first over the preparatory sifter e, the tailings being discharged at f<1>; the finer materials are collected by the cone g, and transferred to the sieve h. The tailings over this and the lower sieve i are discharged by centrifugal force to the shoot k<1>, the fine material being received by the shoot n'. The shaft a supports a six-armed spider b connected with flat springs o which prevent shock at the reversal of its movement. From the ends of each of the six arms is suspended a flat spring p. Adjustable arms q secured to these springs support the sieves e, h, i and cone g. The invention can be applied in a similar manner to plane rotary sieves, rectangular or other. The inclination of annular rotary sieves can be varied by supporting them interiorly upon nuts adjustable on a central suspension rod. The materials in this case move inwards over the sifting-surfaces, and are discharged outwards by the collecting- trays. The inner part of the top sieve may be divided into a comparatively-coarse sieve with a finer sieve underlying it, a distributing-plate being interposed between the two. Fig. 9 shows in plan a grading-machine with trapeze-shaped compartments e, the extent of the movement being indicated by dotted circles round the suspension rods p, which are arranged as above described.

Title: Improvements in and in connection with Pneumatic or other Fluid Operated Chipping or like Hammers.
Filed: 1899-03-14
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 5520. Pickles, C. K., and United States Metallic Packing Co. March 14. Percussive hand tools. - A pneumatic chipping-hammer has a cylinder 1 on which slides an annular piston valve 7 in a housing 4. The housing and handle 5 are secured in place by a cap nut 3, with serrated edges 8 and locked by a spring dog 9. The handle contains a spring piston valve 18, which can be depressed to connect apertures 15 by an annular recess 14, and thus admit motive fluid to the supply passage 11. The handle is made hollow to contain oil, some of which is transferred at each depression of the valve, to a recess 22 by passages 21 and groove 20, and thence at the next depression by the annular recess 14 to the path of the fluid to lubricate the piston. The piston 23 has reduced ends 25, 25<1> and a groove 24. The end 25 delivers the blow on the chisel shank, and the end 25<1> serves to cushion in a recess in the cap nut. The groove 24 connects passages 33, 34 in the cylinder walls when the piston is in the forward position shown. Fig. 2 shows a section at right-angles to Fig. 1. The valve is normally pressed forward by the fluid in the rear valve chamber 29, and thus enters the rear end of the cylinder through ports 35, driving the piston forward, the front end of the cylinder being open to the exhaust through passages 36, 31, 30. 32. When the groove 24 and passages 33, 34 register, fluid is admitted to the front valve chamber, and acting on a larger face returns the valve, opening the rear end of the cylinder to the exhaust. The piston a gently returned by fluid passing through the small passage 37 from the front valve chamber.
